MOGUL MONARCH (1) consistent gelding returning after finishing a narrow fourth to Mad Darcey over 1200m at Randwick in Midway company last October. Fitted with the one good trial win over 1000m here. Gets his chance with the claim. ANARITA (11) big drop in grade when getting off the mark at start six with a tough neck win over 1200m at Tamworth. Fifth-up today and deserves her shot in this stronger contest. Maps to get her chance. QUEEN BESS (8) has an okay fresh record and returns without a trial. Bumped into some stronger opposition last time in and gets some weight relief with Fitzgerald's 3kg claim. Look for her powering late. RIP OFF (3) resumes with an excellent fresh record. Tough run from the wide draw when fifth to Bullets High over 1400m at Warwick Farm in BM72 class on October 16. Had two soft trials and gets her chance from the draw.
